Centrally located in the heart of the country, our main campus for Belize Study Abroad is ideally positioned and equipped to serve as a home base for your study abroad experience. The campus itself is situated within the 1060 acres of land managed by Monkey Bay Wildlife Sanctuary for the protection of wildlife and the continuity of the Central Belize Corridor. The campus operations utilizes sustainable practices in rainwater catchment for drinking water and rainwater catchment ponds for utility water as well as a Biogas Composting Latrine for general campus use. The vision of Monkey Bay's and Belize Study Abroad's Managing Directors along with our dedicated team has transformed this campus from a rustic campground to a fully fledged education facility in the heart of Belize.
